enSignal Disturbance for Highlands Area Listenershttp://wcqs.org/post/signal-disturbance-highlands-area-listeners
<p>WCQS recently learned that its signal to the Highlands area at 101.7 FM will soon be bumped by another station. The other station, located in South Carolina, was granted a Transmitter at the same frequency. Because our frequency at 101.7 is only a translator, WCQS listeners in the Highlands area will experience a signal loss effective this Sunday morning.</p>Thu, 30 Jul 2015 22:56:30 +0000Michelle Keenan37828 at http://wcqs.orgSignal Disturbance for Highlands Area Listeners"Cast Party" Podcast Festival Hits Cinemas Tuesday Nighthttp://wcqs.org/post/cast-party-podcast-festival-hits-cinemas-tuesday-night
